THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF JOY Written by Willie Dixon As recorded by Howlin’ Wolf on “The Real Folk Blues,” 1966, which you can hear on Spotify.
Well, all of you girls [who] think your days are done, You don't have to worry; you can have your fun. Take me, baby, for your little boy. You're gettin' three hundred pounds of heavenly joy. This is it. This is it. Look what you get.
You've been bendin' 'n’ hidin' from behind his back, And you got your man that you don't like. Throw that cat, baby, out o’ your mind. Follow me, baby, 'n’ have a real good time. This is it. This is it. Look what you get.
Hoy, hoy, I'm the boy. I got three hundred pounds of heavenly joy. I'm so glad that you understand. I'm three hundred pounds of muscle an’ man. This is it. This is it. Look what you get.
